On A Mad-Lib

Remember Mad-Libs? Well, I do. They were fun. So, I thought I’d give you all a chance to reminisce and also to participate in the Thought-writing process.

Share the fun with friends ’cause friends love Mad-Libs:

Sally decided it was time for a change, so she got in her (type of vehicle) and headed for (location). She had barely begun her journey of self discovery when a/an (adjective) man in (color) shoes stepped out in front of her.

The man had (plural noun) falling out of his pockets, which seemed (adjective) to Sally at the time. Hoping to get the man to move out of her way, Sally gave him a (noun) and (adverb) asked him to step aside.

The man (verb) and began (gerund) wildly.

(participle), he (verb) on Sally’s (noun). He wanted (infinitive) her.

Sally responded by (-ing verb) him and then continued on her way.

And there you have it. I’m sure your gerund was impeccable…

Author’s note: “-ing verb” is a very technical term, which you would not understand unless you have taken, like, 7, no, no, 8, yeah, 8 years of Latin. So, if you haven’t, you should because then this Thought will have a whole other level of meaning. But you better start now because 8 years is a long time.

Did you like this Thought? Sure did. No, I did not.
